Coconut curry sweet potatoes

Coconut curry sweet potatoes are a delightful and flavorful dish that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the rich, aromatic spices of curry and the creamy texture of coconut oil. This easy-to-make recipe not only satisfies your taste buds but also provides a nutritious meal, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a wholesome and comforting dish.

Ingredients:

2 cups sweet potatos
270g
2 tbsp coconut oil
27g
1 tbsp curry powder
6g
1 tsp salt
6g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes:
- Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes. Once peeled, dice them into roughly 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
2. Heat the Coconut Oil:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to melt and become hot, but not smoking. You can tell it’s ready when it shimmers on the surface.
3. Add the Sweet Potatoes:
- Once the oil is hot, add the diced sweet potatoes to the pan. Sauté the sweet potatoes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure they cook evenly. This should take about 5 minutes, allowing the sweet potatoes to start softening and getting a light golden brown on the edges.
4. Season the Potatoes:
- Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon of curry powder over the sweet potatoes. Stir well to make sure the sweet potatoes are coated evenly. Then, add the 1 teaspoon of salt and mix thoroughly.
5. Cook Until Tender:
- Continue to cook the sweet potatoes, stirring occasionally, for an additional 10-15 minutes. You'll know they're done when they are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork, and nicely caramelized on the edges.
6. Serve:
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through, remove them from the heat. Transfer to a serving dish.
7. Optional Garnish:
- For added flavor and presentation, consider garnishing with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, or toasted coconut flakes.

Tips:

- Cut the sweet potatoes into evenly sized cubes to ensure they cook uniformly.

- For a richer flavor, freshly grind your own curry powder or choose a high-quality brand.

- Adjust the amount of curry powder to suit your spice preference; you can always add more or less.

- If you prefer a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of coconut milk towards the end of cooking.

- Roast the sweet potatoes in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes for a crispier texture.

- Garnish with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime juice to add a fresh and zesty contrast to the creamy curry.
